Germany star Thomas Muller believes his side has a stronger squad heading to the World Cup than they did four years ago when they beat Argentina in the final.
Die Mannschaft lifted the trophy in Brazil with a 1-0 victory thanks to Mario Gotze’s extra-time goal. After 10 wins from 10 in qualifying, Germany are well backed to defend their title and Muller is confident Low’s squad has the quality to go all the way in Russia.
“Individually, without a doubt we are better. But football has developed considerably. Other countries have also come on leaps and bounds and their players have become much more technically refined. Comparing different generations doesn’t often get you anywhere. You simply have to keep up with the development of the sport and in that sense, we’re ready,” said Muller.
“We are world champions, we have several players at the peak of their powers. We are looking forward to the tournament,” he added.
